ISNÆTTER is a fusion of dance and theatre — a performance about power and desire, based on author Anna Kavan’s cult novel ICE from 1967.

Playwright Amanda Ginman — Reumert Award winner for Mørkt Forår — and acclaimed choreographer Tina Tarpgaard join forces in a performance where dance, text, and sound create an intense and physical portrait of our present.

In a world covered in ice, an unnamed male narrator pursues a mysterious woman — yet she continually escapes him. He shapes his own reality and moves through the world driven by fascination, desire, jealousy, and an overwhelming urge for control. The longer he chases her, the more reality and fantasy begin to merge — and fracture.

ISNÆTTER is nightmare-ish, 1960s road movie, and psychedelic dream logic — a hypnotic journey through obsession, power, and downfall, where the boundary between reality and hallucination dissolves, like everything else. Like a nightmare you cannot wake from.
